Flat Roofs

Flat Roofing is our speciality. From garage roofs to green roofs, from school cabins to hospitals, to a sedum-planted Embassy roof, the National Library of Wales Plant Room, hotel complexes and a rooftop mini-golf course. Our pioneering liquid polymer system is hassle-free, affordable, durable and high performance. We use self-levelling roofing compounds where required, can taper insulation and drainage and line for planting if desired. What's more, we can usually fix or refurbish a flat roof IN ONE DAY, even between weather fronts, and can get to pretty much any roof in the UK - fast.

Parapet roof on listed building: Old College, Aberystwyth University

The leaking ashfelt parapet roof of this historic tower stairwell in Aberystwyth was in desperate need of repair and refurbishment.
